插件DataTables jquery：如何显示格式化的Date？

Question

Among my source properties , I have a column created by doing javascript code

 var col_date =   new Date(timestamp)

It display me a column with text formated like this : Sun Feb 08 2015 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (Paris, Madrid)

I would like to display it in MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD formar ( whatever , I want it short and easily readable)

Do you know how to do it please?

Answer 1

In DataTables, you can modify the value shown in the table in two ways:

1. change it in the source data, or
2. leave the source data alone but tell DataTables to render it differently

It sounds like #2 is what you are looking for. See the reference documentation that includes an example.
